7 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (March 3)
5. "It's Alright, We've Still Got Mahabali Shera."
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss, as The Who once sang.
The BROKEN Matt Hardy character was the one act saving TNA from rising tide of irrelevance - and TNA's new management company have proven themselves as inept as their predecessors by failing to treat him and Jeff with even the slightest degree of gratitude.
Rumour has it that brothers Matt and Nero had agreed a deal in principle to remain with TNA, but Anthem Sports p*ssed around with the paperwork and kept them in the dark. When Matt, who has sort of demonstrated his creative nous over the past year, expressed a desire to retain control of that in his contract, the company who once allowed a Reverse Battle Royal on television told him to shove it. Matt, in a customary negotiation tactic, advised new President Ed Nordholm that there were other offers on the table. Incredibly, Nordholm replied, presumably to an intermediary, "Well, tell them to go to WWE, then."
And that is precisely where Matt and Jeff are set to take their still white-hot act next. TNA, in a fit of insane stupidity, have let Matt Hardy go, and he might yet DELETE WrestleMania. McMahon would welcome the subsequent reset, if only because the event is getting too old and prestigious for its own good.
